    My wife and I own a Liberty has 25000 miles and has had absolutly NO problems. It has plenty of power even though I would not recomend it as a tow vehicle based upon it's size. And for the record the liberty's come with either a 4 banger or the 3.7 litre V-6 and for 2005 a diesel has been added.

    My dad bought a new Liberty in mid 03.  A month ago, he traded it in.

    I have a 2003 Liberty with almost 80K miles on the v6 & other than state inspections yearly the only things its needed were front brakes & tires. Plenty of power but based on its size I wouldn't tow much more than a small boat or trailer with it.

    Four 4.0 engines owned by my family, mileage from 44,000 to 240,000.  ZERO engine problems.  The modern day leaning tower of power, I can't believe they are phasing it out.  Awesome motor.  Your "gurus" are probably talking about the 2.7 4 cyl.  I'll agree there are problems with that one.

    Actually NZ, seeing as I work at a very large dealer I think I would be qualified as a real Guru, and would say there are more repairs required by the V-8 Grand Cherokess compared to the 4.0L's, but hey whatever you want to believe. I would still prefer more cubes, 1998 5.9 Limited's were very nice.

    We have a 2004 Liberty 3.7L V6 with 40K miles and have had no troubles.  The things I don't like are the short seats bottoms and we have a slight vibration at 40-45mph and the auto transmission is kinda noisy in my opinion...nothing grinding or rattling...it works fine but I can hear it through the floor.  Its been reliable so far, we like the power and it has a very good turning radius.

    NZ,

    I don't post hear that often obviously, I am trying to get my Challenger together this Summer.  If I can find some TTI headers I can get the motor in and to the paint shop.   TTI's seem to be outa stock right now.  The car will appear the same as in my sig pic but will have no bumperettes and will have either rallye wheels or AR TTO's
